Understanding Your Car: When Should You Check Your Differential?

The differential is located in the center of your front or back wheel. It works with the engine to power the wheels so your car can move. However, if you notice some issues with your car's wheels feeling rough or not responding right to your steering, there could be an issue with the differential.

Your vehicle’s differential uses gears and must be well-lubricated to run properly. Cars that are not often checked for this may start to raggedly. While a differential can stop working altogether, this is unlikely in new vehicles, but your mechanic should always check the differential just as frequently as checking the oil.

Once a differential becomes out of whack, it can cause major issues for your drivetrain and cause your wheels to wobble. One of the best service departments in Temple, TX is conveniently located at Crest Lincoln. They can answer any questions and check your differential to see if it is working properly.
